I thought i would give this a try.
It seems to work OK, but
if one is running wbar, as i am (i run it invisable, just in case you are wondering where the icons are)
there is a rectangle where the wbar sits, and it requires a right click on the wbar to correct things. (see: wbarprob.png)

Also if your wallpaper images are of different sizes, it would be nice if they could be Stretched to fit. (see: badfit.png)

My desktop is running at: 1280x960
The image being displayed in: wbarprob.png is 1280x960
The image being displayed in: badfit.png is 1024x768

Maybe you are already looking at the issues i speak of, in this new version,
if not, then maybe you could.

The position i used for the xevent,
was arrived at by taking a screenshot of the desktop (showing the rectangle where wbar should be)
then moving the cursor over the screenshot to the top lefthand corner of the rectangle,
and making a note of the position. (Very crude, but only needs doing once)

Anyway, i am sure someone with your abilities can do a better job of it.

Cool stuff Will.

Sort of wish people would take the time to explore the potential of our light weight ROX desktop and file manager and JWM, before thinking they need a heavy weight.

Version 4.x JWM looks great as is, but with more work, it is very configurable to a variety of tastes. I'd take the JWM / ROX-Filer / Midnight Commander combination any day over what the proprietor thinks he has to offer. Actually, over a lot of FOSS desktop / filemanger combinations.

Now being American, I'm proud to have a second language, which is C, no just kidding, it's Spanish. This brings me to the question: Where's the screenshot?

Plus - I'm busy at work making version 03, it should be really great. I'm particularly pleased about how ROX-Filer changes backgrounds without so much as a flicker._________________New! Puppy Linux Links Page
